Winter Wellness: Navigating Festive Anxiety with Self-Care and CBD Solutions by MOi + ME

Festive anxiety, christmas stress withe CBD

 

As the nights grow longer, and the chill of winter sets in, Christmas anticipation can bring joy too many, but for those grappling with anxiety, this festive season may pose challenges. The reduced exposure to sunlight during winter months can disrupt neurotransmitter release linked to anxiety and depression. Coupled with the cold weather, which often keeps us indoors, leading to decreased physical activity and potential inflammation in the brain, the winter months can exacerbate these feelings. The festive season, with its social obligations, financial pressures, and the struggle to meet expectations, can contribute to what is commonly known as festive anxiety.

To navigate through this season of festive blues and anxiety, incorporating self-love and care into your daily routine becomes paramount. MOi + ME acknowledges the importance of finding balance in life and dedicating time for reflection. Our busy lives can sometimes make us feel like we have "One Soul, Two Minds" – a thriving external "MOi" side and a tired, worn-out "ME" side with too much on its plate.

Here are seven daily practices to add to your routine for self-love and care:

  1. Practice Gratitude
  2. Use Loving Words to Describe Yourself
  3. Exercise Regularly
  4. Wrap Up and Get Outdoors More
  5. Have an Hour a Day Without Technology
  6. Find Time to Spend Alone
  7. Drink Water
